All of the 255/35/18 tires listed on TireRack will fit an 8.5-10" rim, so 9.5" shouldn't be a problem.

Does the OZ Super III's come in Black for the EVO? I viewed them for the Evo on tirerack and it only showed the Silver ones.

Thanks!

Not yet. The black finishes are mainly BMW, Corvette, and Porsche fitments at this time. Haven't heard if they are going to start black in other apps yet. I think they are testing the waters to see what happens.

Hard to be certain since you didn't specify a tire size. You definitely won't need spacers anywhere, but they will probably rub in the back. Especially if you run 275/40. There's a slim chance a 235/45 will clear, otherwise light fender rolling should fix it. The fronts should clear without an issue.

Most of the Enkei's need a spacer in front. Call Josh at ImportImage to be sure, he knows a lot about the Enkei wheels.

I have a Nitto NT01 I want to mount in size 245/45/17. I tried to mount to the stock wheels but it rubbed on the inside wheel well up front. I think if I used a 17x9 FN01rc w/ a 35 offset it would clear. Any body any experience? These tires are amazing but I have nothing I can put them on.

depending on brand/size tires.

generally, you want to run 265s or 275s on a 10" wide rim.

I thought you are going to run Advan RS 18x10, what change your mind to volks?

will this fit the stock brake and lightly rolled rear fender: 275/35/18s advan rs 18x10 +15 (GTR face) ?

Not gonna work.
I have the 17x9 FN01R-C as my track wheel with a 255/40/17 Toyo RA-1 and they clear the fender iners, but are a bit close. A 245/45 is taller than my setup and the increased width combined with decreased offset will push the wheel FARTHER into the liner whenever you turn. You would actually be making it worse for yourself.

You basically just have the wrong tire size. With a 6mm spacer in the front, my setup clears fine. I only needed the spacer because the tires were rubbing on my coilovers, I think if you have stock suspension, the rims would clear just fine, but your tire size isn't gonna work no matter what..
